Sneak Peek - Little House in the Big Garden

Mystery Quilt 2016 - Starts in February

2015 Mystery Quilt BOM - 73" x 84"

Here is a "sneak peek" at the Mystery Quilt for next year. Jan's been playing with colors. Each month you will get one applique block. Some of the blocks with be small but others will be quite large, especially toward the end. We've evened things out by charging one flat fee for all of them. It will be $28.50 a month and that does include shipping (except for the month we send the borders). If you want in on the fun, email Tammie at janpatekquilts@centurylink.net or call her at 816-632-7632. We will of course, need your credit card #, date of expiration and code. :) If you belonged to the Mystery Quilt Club this year you're automatically on the list next year unless you tell us you want off. International shipments will cost the same if we ship three blocks together. Otherwise there will be an additional $15.95 each month for shipping.

Drummm rolllll here ........ Stitched with a Prayer who said "Thank you so much for the pattern and for a chance to win some beautiful quilting treasure. Hugs..."

Hugs to you too. I emailed you but emails occasionally get lost. If you'll email your shipping information to Tori at jpqinvoices@yahoo.com she'll get your precuts out to you. Have fun with them. And to those of you who commented about using the Turnovers, watch for my new patterns this spring. I used one in Tulips & Leaves and in Blooming Basket.

Thanks to everyone who followed the Merry Moda Blog Hop all week. I wish you all could have won. Personally, I really wanted to win Polly's little rug but I didn't. :(

It was a really full week followed by a really full weekend. It was our annual tree getting and trimming day on Saturday. Usually we just go to the front pasture but the cedars there were all too big this year. Pep and Jake inspected and pondered. We could have trimmed one down quite a bit but I thought I had seen some along the front fence line. So we all piled into the van

and drove to the front corner of the farm. Sure enough there were quite a few just the right size. Pep and Jake loaded it into the van and back we came to the house.

After we took the tree out, Spike had to check all the feed sacks to make sure everything was ok. Nope, no stray dog food sacks hanging around - just stuff for chickens.

Inside, Jake and Pep got the tree in the stand and tied to the hook in the ceiling (in case kitties decide to climb trees). Then Zoie, Jake, Kelly and I decorated with oversight from Pep. The weather was beautiful as was the whole day.

Jan, I just got your email saying I had won!!! I'm am so excited...first my grandson who has been away in the Air Force shows up last night to surprise me, everyone was in on it except grandma, I cried for over an hour, unable to believe he was home! LOL Now I find I have won these beautiful precuts. Just can't say thank you enough. What a Christmas this is turning into for me!!! Thanks again so much! Big Big Hugs...

About Me

I've been designing primitive folk art quilts and publishing the patterns in books for more than 20 years. I also design original fabric lines for Moda. My most recent fabric line is Fern Hill that shipped to stores in August. I've also started doing Needleturn Applique tutorials on You Tube. You can see them by going to my channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/JanPatekQuilts.
I love making quilts - it's what I do. And I don’t want to make quilts and put them in a closet. I want to provide a creative outlet for others.
I'd love to have you visit my store.
